‘Europe Is Decaying’: Trump Targets NATO, Calls European Leaders ‘Stupid’
President unleashes brutal attack on allies while praising Russia’s position.
President Donald Trump delivered an unprecedented verbal assault on America’s oldest allies, declaring that “most European nations, they’re decaying” and accusing the entire continent of surrendering to weakness through disastrous immigration policies and obsessive political correctness that have left once-great powers vulnerable and humiliated.
Expanding on his attack, Trump explicitly naming Britain, France, Germany, Poland, and Sweden as nations being “destroyed” by unchecked migration, Trump ridiculed European leadership as populated by “some real stupid ones” who prioritize virtue-signaling over national survival, while renewing his personal vendetta against London’s Muslim mayor Sadiq Khan, whom he again branded “horrible, vicious, disgusting.”
On NATO, Trump gloated that the alliance’s own Secretary General Mark Rutte had effectively called him “daddy” after European leaders capitulated to his long-standing demand for higher defense spending, yet he immediately dismissed the gesture as meaningless, charging that NATO members “talk but they don’t produce” and bear responsibility for allowing the Ukraine war to drag on endlessly while Russia maintains the clear upper hand on the battlefield.

Turning his fire on Kyiv, Trump demanded that President Volodymyr Zelensky immediately hold elections—despite 20 percent of Ukraine being under Russian occupation and martial law in force since the 2022—insisting that postponing votes means the country is “not a democracy anymore” and accusing Zelensky of hiding behind the war to cling to power without a fresh mandate.
The extraordinary broadside has sent shockwaves through European capitals, amplifying fears already ignited by last week’s U.S. national security strategy that spoke openly of “civilizational erasure” in Europe and urged “cultivating resistance” against migration, language critics say borrows directly from far-right conspiracy theories and places Washington’s worldview closer to the Kremlin’s than to the democratic governments it has defended for eight decades.
